I have in my bookmarks some links to 
presarios 2700 and 1700 may be can help.
googling: Linux on Presario 2701EA
http://www.zippysoft.com/linux/presario_2701ea/
http://poli.cs.vsb.cz/linux/somrak-presario-1700/

but say "Enabling Local APIC will probably cause your kernel to hang on
boot."
so try more nolapic than noapic .
